Travelling in Shanghai, it is really far enough only to stroll in the Bund area along the Huangpu River, purchase some souvenirs in Nanjing Pedestrain street. You should left some time to taste the typical snacks of Shanghai. I recommend some for you and it is really nice...heyhey.

Cool Noodles(leng Mian ) :Noodles are traditional food in north China, but they changed a little in Shanghai, which make them even more great. Snacks(Xiao Long Bao) Famous food in Shanghai. Very good. Crabs(Da Zha Xie) Crab in Shanghai is famous for its natural great taste. The best time for having crabs is autumn. there are also many dishes within crabs an ingredents. These snacks are available all over the china, but it has the distinctive features in Shanghai.
